Abstract
|
|
|
Regulator of Calcineurin 1 (RCAN1/DSCR1/Adapt78) gene is located in the Down syndrome (DS) region of chromosome 21, and critical for the phenotype of DS and Alzheimer disease (AD). In this report, we found that expression of Nedd4-2 E3 ubiquitin ligase decreased the protein level of RCAN1. Decrease of RCAN1 protein expression by Nedd4-2 was blocked by proteasome inhibitor MG132, indicating that this decrease was mediated by the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. Furthermore, we found that the ability of Nedd4-2 to degrade RCAN1 depended on the direct binding with RCAN1. Consistently, Nedd4-2 enhanced the ubiquitination of RCAN1 protein. Our data provide the first evidence that Nedd4-2 acts as an important regulatory component in the control of RCAN1 protein stability.
